I must admit, I do like the commercially canned and pre-made baked beans, but my skinny jeans and I are not fans of the high sugar content often found in even the organic varieties. I would make them myself but I’m usually too busy cleaning up the mess I’ve made blending with my Vitamix in […] Read more…

I’m not sure why gluten-free toasted muesli is so crazily expensive but when my favourite brand reached $14 a box recently (say whaaaat!), I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands. Turns out it’s so easy and fun (and cheaper and better for the environment) to make your own, you’ll never buy […] Read more…

I was goofing off on Pinterest doing serious stuff on the Internets the other day when LO AND BEHOLD, this gorgeous post from Smitten Kitchen jumped out and bit me! Sweet Potato as a healthier and gluten-free bruschetta base? Genius! I loved the sound of the topping Deb used (and vowed to try it ASAP) […] Read more…

Ohhh those magical, mythical sandwiches that all my favourite American bloggers are always writing about! I thought my turn would never come but FINALLY I have consumed a Tempeh Reuben on Australian soil! *happy dance* The Tempeh Reubens we fell in love with at Caravan of Dreams and many other vegan restaurants across the […] Read more…

How beautiful and romantic is summer?! You get to do all sorts of summer-fun things like go to the Rooftop Movies with your girls to see Ryan. ♥••*´¨`*•.☆• And receive roses from your real-life lovebug! ♥••*´¨`*•.☆• Nawww, spoilt!! ☺ ♥ All this summer-of-love action made me hungry for […] Read more…

Now it wouldn’t be Vegan MoFo without a vegan getting all wild and crazy and throwing all the vegan staples – hummus, tofu and pesto – into a single dish, would it? It’s just mad enough to work and by joves, work it does! Hummus gives a lovely earthy texture and flavour whilst tofu […] Read more…

I’ve been to Paris twice in this lifetime (so far) and just like so many travellers before me, it was love at first sight. Ohhh, the beautiful architecture, gold encrusted bridges, charming canals, breathtaking gardens and fountains, effortlessly stylish fashion, priceless art, romantic music, and incredible, hot, gooey Nutella Crêpes available on every tree-lined city street… […] Read more…

Think strawberries and cream are reserved for Wimbledon, darling? Not anymore! How’s this for delicious decadence so easy and healthy you can enjoy it every day? Forget oats. Quinoa is the crème de la crème of the grain/seed families. High in complete protein, it contains all nine essential amino acids and is especially well-endowed with the amino acid lysine, […] Read more…

Ok, it’s official. I have a brunch addiction. How good is weekend brunch, though? So mellow, sitting in the sunshine, with nowhere to be and not a rush in sight. It’s the only time it’s perfectly acceptable to eat sweet treats as a main meal, plus it’s usually two meals rolled into one which means […] Read more…

I never have been the athletic type. Oh I did dance classes and stuff as a kid, but I classify that more as art than sport. When all the other ten-year old girls were out playing netball or hockey, I was curled up somewhere with a book. Or a series of books, to be exact. […] Read more…

When my gorgeous friend Brooke was visiting from Melbourne recently, we met for brunch at the new café that is the talk of the town – Mrs S. It definitely lives up to the hype, so if you’re in Perth, you should definitely go. I thoroughly enjoyed my avocado, tomato, mushrooms and olive tapenade on […] Read more…
